No study was found in which children aged 8-12 years were educated with the help of audio and picture books before appendectomy and evaluated postoperative anxiety, quality of life and mobilization time. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative education with the help of audio and picture books on postoperative anxiety, quality of life and early mobilization. The study was planned randomized controlled study. The statistical universe of this study, includes pediatric patients who operated between February 2021 and December 2021 in Pediatric Surgery Department in Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's hospital.

Data will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods using the SPSS for Windows 22.0 program (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Descriptive statistical methods such as percentile, mean, standard deviation and median in the evaluation of data and Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution test for examining normal distribution, chi-square test, t-test/Mann Whitney-U test for measurement data, One-Way ANOVA/Kruskall Wallis tests will be used.
